The police soon arrived. Thankfully, the incident happened at night when there were fewer cars and pedestrians on the road. Thus, nobody was hurt.A few of the police officers recognized Belle due to the incident with Xenia. As they knew her relationship with Grayson, they didn't dare give her a hard time. They let her go after recording a simple statement.When Belle left, she saw that the driver was still crying. "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Even if you get an unexpected sum of money, you should consider if you'll live long enough to spend it," she couldn't help saying.After finishing her sentence, she hailed another taxi to head to the address Gabriel had told her.Along the way, Belle wondered who was trying to hurt her.Belle wondered if it was Lena. However, she couldn't understand why Lena would want to harm her and the Strauss family. If it was not Lena, who else could it be?Belle couldn't think of anyone she suspected. Thus, she decided to put the matter asi
Gabriel paused for a moment before replying, "My boss."Belle looked at him and asked, "Who's your boss?""I can't reveal that.""Is your boss the one who told you that Phil's belongings contained information about the Aspen family?""Yes.""Why do they want to investigate the Aspen family?"Gabriel replied, "Anyone who knows something about the Aspen family would want to find out about their secret.""Do you also know about their secret?""I don't know, nor do I care about it. I only care about my sister."After saying that, Gabriel looked at Belle meaningfully. "This is also why information about you hasn't reached their ears yet. You should thank Ginger. Otherwise, I wouldn't be hiding you from them."Belle's mouth twitched. She knew about this very well.Gabriel added, "This is why I hope you can keep this secret for me. I don't want her to worry about me, nor do I want her to know about the Aspen family. The more she knows about them, the more dangerous it is for her.
Downstairs at Ginger's house, Sam was showing information about Ginger."The little boy called Gabe in the information should be Gabriel. Weird enough, he's from the Fleming family. Why did he grow up in Ginger's hometown?"Grayson didn't look up from the information in his hands. "Are you sure the information is correct?""It's correct. I even called the person to double-confirm the information. However, the census record shows that Gabriel is already dead."Grayson didn't reply.Sam added, "Looking at their upbringing, he should be quite close with Ginger. He even bought a house for her a while ago."Grayson knew that Gabriel was indeed very close to Ginger.From how Gabriel reacted just now, he cared a lot about her.However, Gabriel's identity was very confusing. Since he was from the Fleming family, he should have been brought up by them. However, he had spent his childhood elsewhere instead.Grayson wondered why Gabriel was brought up elsewhere. Could it be that Gabriel
Grayson replied, "Ginger was being hunted down by someone.""What?" Belle was shocked.However, Grayson was calm. "I went to find Ginger when I couldn't get in touch with you. I wanted to see if you had gone to Ginger's place to look for Gabriel. By coincidence, I saw someone chasing after Ginger with a knife. "She was screaming for help while running. So, I ended up saving her just like that."Belle's eyes were wide open. "On the streets?""Yup.""How daring of the person to attempt to kill someone on the streets!""Nobody could see the person's face clearly as it was so dark. Plus, Ginger lives in quite a remote area, which made it a good spot for the assailant. The person ran away after seeing us. I've already sent someone to go after them."Belle furrowed his eyebrows and fell deep in thought.Based on her memories, Ginger didn't have many enemies. Henrietta was the only one who held a grudge against her. Ever since Henrietta died, Belle never saw Ginger having any unplea
"Where's the person who went after my sister?" Gabriel asked.Just as Grayson was about to reply, Jake knocked on the window.Grayson wound down the window.Jake noticed Gabriel at a glance. The two just had a brief encounter not long ago. Although Gabriel was wearing a mask, Jake recognized Gabriel at a glance.Jake didn't say anything and turned his attention to Grayson. "The person is dead. I've already sent information about him to your phone."Grayson felt shocked to hear that. "Got it." He then furrowed his eyebrows.The car window rolled up again. Grayson fell into deep thought when he looked at the message Jake had sent.Realizing that something was off, Gabriel asked with a darkened face, "Who died?"Grayson didn't hide it from him. "The person who wanted to kill Ginger."Jake was stunned. "They're dead? How did they die? Did your men kill them?"Instead of explaining, Grayson handed him his phone.On the screen, there were photos and videos that were clearly taken
Gabriel shot a meaningful look at Grayson. He knew that the group of people didn't like Grayson and Robert.The reason why the Strauss family had so many incidents going on lately was because of them.If Grayson and Robert weren't capable enough, they would've been dead a long time ago!The group of people was secretive and autocratic. They kept themselves concealed, not letting outsiders know anything about them. At the same time, they were always vigilant about the happenings in the outside world. If anyone served as a threat to their influence, they would go to great lengths to eliminate them.After staying silent for a while, Gabriel said, "You said it yourself that I'm from the Fleming family. Why would I help an outsider like you?"Grayson replied, "I didn't ask you to help me. I want to make a deal with you.""What can you offer me?""Ginger's safety."When Ginger was brought up, a hostile look flashed on Gabriel's face. "Are you trying to threaten me with her?"Grays
At this moment, Gabriel could see how grim Ginger's expression was. "Ginger, don't be afraid. I just got the news that the culprit has been caught," he lied while sitting beside the bed.Ginger was stunned. "He's been caught?""Yes. Grayson's men caught him. He's now with the police."Ginger quickly asked, "Did they interrogate him thoroughly? Who's that person? What grudge does he have against me? Why does he want to kill me?"Gabriel replied, "He doesn't have a grudge against you. He just has a mental problem. The nurse accidentally lost sight of him, and he escaped from the psychiatric hospital this afternoon. "He was holding a fruit knife when he ran away. According to the hospital's nurse, he used to sell fruits and loved cutting fruits. Half of the fruits in the hospital were cut by him."Ginger was suspicious. "I'm a human, not a fruit. Why did he hunt me down to cut me up?"Hearing this, Gabriel answered, "The head of the hospital said he probably wanted to talk to you.
Ginger smacked Gabriel. "You brat. What are you saying? You don't live in Maltford, so you don't know Grayson's status here! I'm not trying to scare you, but he's so influential here that nobody can match his power."Gabriel scratched the back of his head and pouted. "You actually hit me because of him. Do you admire him that much? Who's more important to you in your heart? Me, or him?"Ginger pursed her lips. Then, she pinched his slender cheek like he was a child. "You, of course! You're all I have. However, Mr. Page did save me. So, we still need to respect him and not call him by his name. "You need to refer to him as Mr. Page, okay?""Okay. I understand. Ginger, I'm hungry. Please cook something for me." Gabriel tried to divert her attention by giving her something to do.Once Ginger's attention was diverted, she would stop thinking about that incident. Soon, she would also stop fearing it.Ginger heaved a sigh and said, "I'll go and do it right now."Pulling off the cover
